I know that this is late, and potentially off-topic, but the links I gave yesterday to CBC radio streams were incorrect. Here are the updated links for those of you who are interested:
You might want to try the CBC Radio 2 Internet-only stream that is devoted to classical: http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw3tor-128.m3u. Very few advertisements and no chatter that I've noticed. CBC Radio 2 also has Internet-only streams devoted to Jazz (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw1tor-128.m3u), Canadian Composers (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw2tor-128.m3u) and Canadian Songwriters (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw4tor-128.m3u). I'm not sure if these streams are geo-locked. Enjoy.
Not that there's much diffference, kind of like English and American.
Sorry for being off topic, but this is analogous to saying that French and Spanish are basically the same language. It's true that Russian and Ukrainian share a common heritage - Ancient Slavonic - but they are full-fledged, independent languages.
Cheers,
I'm afraid that I've got to disagree. In my experience, raw dollar-for dollar costs are relatively equal between Canada and the US - in my case, comparing Alberta with Nevada. It costs me approximately $100 US in NV to purchase what would cost $100 CND in Alberta... and this is shopping at the same family of stores (Safeway). I believe that similar comparisons could be made for other goods and products.
